First in a series filled with barbarian clans on another world, earth women trying to find their place, rival clan wars and soul mates. It has a bit of everything; action, humor, suspense and romance. It was a good read that delves into a colorful new world. It contains several intimate scenes involving MM and MMF as well as blunt words, strong, confident, sexy barbarian males and head-strong, fierce and determined females.
Skye Jones is from earth and has always felt out of place among her kind because of her gift of telekinesis. She has worked low-level security and body guard jobs and dreams of becoming a fashion buyer for the Welcome Resort on the alien planet Ussed. This dream is soon shattered when she receives an urgent message from her friend, Lisa, who works at the resort, to come rescue her from a Vyctore Clan barbarian of the Cloud Tribe. Armed with her psychic talent and a strong determination she sets off from earth to rescue her. Arriving at the resort on Ussed, she meets a contact who provides her with some basic intel on where Lisa may be and sets off on her mission.
In trying to rescue her friend she runs into warriors from the Nasuhl and Vyctore Clans and things get complicated fast. Being captured and taken back to the Vyctore village to meet their leader and get some answers, she feels she may be in for more than she bargained for and there may be more at stake than just rescuing her friend. She has an instant connection with two of the hulking warriors and she is both wary and curious as to why. What does this mean for her?
Talzec, leader of the Vyctore Clan, lost his mate a year prior at the hands of the leader of the Nasuhl Clan; his mate’s brother, Daveen, starting a war between the two clans. Yet to recover from the loss, he is shocked when his second in command brings an offworlder, Skye, into their village and is confused and angry at himself by his immediate, intense reaction to her. He can tell by the energy swirling around her and his friend/lover, Xav that she is meant to be their true mate. Can he set aside the guilt he feels at betraying his first mate’s memory and take a chance with this Skye?
Xaveht, beta of the Vyctore Clan and second in command, is fascinated and amused by the fiery, stubborn female he captures in search of their missing clansman. Knowing what she may mean to himself and Talzec, he takes her back to the village. Can he help Talzec see past his guilt and guarded heart so they can explore the possibilities of a true match with Skye?
Choices are taken out of their hands when Skye is captured by the Nasuhl clan. Emotions take over, bonding them together on a deeper level and helping strengthen them all as Talzec and Xav race to save their mate.
